HardEdge

Hardedge is a DOS utility used to set the angle of light used to light a model.

In order to use it you must get to a MS DOS prompt.  Chances are that the one in windows will work, but if not you will have to boot to DOS.  In order to use it you must do the following...

How to navigate DOS

When you first launch the MS DOS Prompt it should read something like this...

C:\Windows>

  1. Now type 'cd\'  (Don't type the ' only the contents of the quotations)
  2. Then type 'cd progra~1\fox\aliens~1\tools\dosutil (that is if you installed it to the default directory.)

You should now be in the following directory...

C:\Program Files\Fox\Aliens versus Predator\tools\dosutil>

Now if you want to hardedge a rif you must use the following syntax.

hardedge.exe 'source rif' 'target rif' 'angle'

So it should look like this if you want to hardedge fall.rif

Hardedge.exe c:\progra~1\fox\aliens~1\avp_rifs\fall.rif c:\progra~1\fox\aliens~1\avp_rifs\donerif.rif 10
